Whatsapp or Zoom?

Post by Sammybunny711 » Mon Feb 16, 2026 3:18 pm

Hi, everyone,

Reinhard has been so kind to keep the boards going all these years for those of us who shun Facebook. I was wondering, would any of you be interested in joining a No S Whatsapp group if one day the boards were shut down? International folks wouldn't have a problem connecting and we could all have a quick, easy way to contact each other and receive support. We could also do occasional Zoom calls. I have gotten SO much support from these boards and I want to keep that party going should anything ever happen to this gentle, friendly place. Please let me know if you're interested if something like that were to happen. If enough folks are interested in the Whatsapp group, I'll create one and can send the link via private messages.

I would love to hear y'all's thoughts!

Hi Sammy

I like the idea but if it takes us away from the boards then there is more chance of us losing them.

Just a thought!

Perhaps it's something we can keep in mind if we are told the forum is closing?

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

Should have clarified that, but yes exactly - - if something were to happen to the boards, we could always move to WhatsApp. I'll go back and edit the original post.
